Ainsi, la résistance à l'arrachage de la tresse tubulaire et du film mince de résine polymère revêtu sur la surface de celle-ci est excellent et, en même temps, la propriété de mouillage initiale de cette membrane de fibre creuse composite est excellente, à savoir comprise entre 80 % et 120 %, du fait d'un phénomène de capillarité ou d'un phénomène similaire.
Patent CA-2630957-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BONILLA GRIS ROBIE
IPC: E02B17/00
Filed: 2005-07-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a covering element (20, 21) having an artificial roughness that has been specially designed (18, 19) to be applied to structures and objects (10) which are submerged in a flow (12) and which are supported by a soil that is liable to scour, such as bridge piers and piles, tubing and other elements.The aforementioned roughness reduces the intensity of the secondary flow at the leading edge of the structures and the intensity of the wake turbulence, thereby reducing the depth and volume of local scouring that can affect said structures. The inventive covering element also reduces the drag force caused by the relative movement of the objects (10) in relation to the liquid medium and, as such, can be applied to objects that move in an aquatic environment. In addition, the covering element can have an efficient hydrodynamic profile which generates an additional reduction in terms of scouring and drag force. Furthermore, the invention can include a mechanism for automatically orienting the covering element if the direction of the flow varies.

Abstract: An anchor system for securing a lead to a patient's skull is disclosed. The lead is of the type that passes through a burr hole created in the patient's skull and includes a distal end which is implanted within the patient's brain at a target site.  The anchor, according to a first embodiment of the invention includes a stem, an integrally formed rim plate, and a peripheral clamping structure. The clamping structure is adapted to receive and snugly hold a portion of the lead. The stem is sized and shaped to fit within the burr hole, leaving the rim plate positioned flush with the patient's skull. A flared passage is provided within the stem and rim plate so that the lead may pass through the stem and into the rim plate, at which point the lead follows the contours of the flared passage and communicates with the peripheral clamping structural. The clamping structure holds a portion of the lead so that any tension of the lead will not be transmitted past the anchor and the distal end of the lead will not become displaced from the target site.  According to a second embodiment, the peripheral clamping structure includes several flexible loops that are sized and spaced from each other to allow a lead to be laced through the loops as the lead extends about the periphery of the rim plate.
